This couple appears to have been born in Kilmaine where all of their children
were born. No record exists of where they died. All of their known children
except Edward were located in Dakota County MN by 1860 and may have spent
some time in New York prior to that date.

Edward was born in Kilmaine County Mayo where all of his children were born.
They emigrated to america in 1849and settled in Saratoga Springs NY before
moving to a farm in Lakeville Twp. MN some time prior to 1857. Some time
after 1860 this Edward and his wife moved to a farm in Empire Twp.

Edward died in June 28, 1875 and is in Highland Cemetery. Margaret went to
live with her widowed daughter, Mrs. Garvey. She is thought to have died
on Feb. 22, 1877 although the 1880 census lists her as still living with
Garvey family. It is likely that she is with her husband at Highand Cemetery
in an unmarked grave. All of these children remained in the Lakeville.

Edward was the one son of James and Bridget that apparently remained on the
family farm in Kilmaine. Nothing is known about him or his family at this
time. Edward's wife may have been Gromley or Grimes ? Kilmaine records show
both names. There is an Edward Hyland that died in 1906 and is in the cemetery
at Kilmaine. The tombstone was erected by a Bridget Hyland from the U. S.
It is however unclear whether or not this is the same Edward. I was unable
to locate this stone during a visit to Ireland. However I did locate a stone
for another Edward Hyland at Kilmaine who died in 1897 at the age of 68 which
would be a more likely candidate.

There may have been more children from the marriage but no information is
available at this time. This James had four children named Patrick, Edward
(Priest), Nora and John. All were single and were still living on the family
homestead in Kilmaine as of 1980. Nora apparently visited Minnesota some
time in the early 1980s and was the source of this information. Nora died
in Kilmaine in October of 1996. She was survived her brother the Rev. Edward
Hyland who is supposedly the last remaining member of this line.

John was born in Kilmaine County Mayo and emigrated with his family to New
York. John and Mary were married 1856 and by 1857 were located on a farm
in section 11 in Lakeville MN. where all of their children were born.

John died May 20, 1912. Mary died Jan. 18, 1910 Both are at St. Josephs Cemetery
in Rosemount MN. Their sons, James and John, left the area. John went to
work for the railroad out west and was killed in a work related accident.
Marie married a local farmer.

Patrick was born in Kilmaine County Mayo and emigrated to the U.S. about
1860 with his parents settling first in Saratoga NY., by 1862 he was located
on a farm in sections 11, 12 &13 of Lakeville MN. Patrick appears to
have married Mary in 1862 at St. Paul MN. There was a Kilroy family located
in the area during the 1860s and they may have been relatives of Mary. In
1870 there were three additional people living with this family that had
the Hyland name. They were Bridget, John, and Jackson Hyland. They were
apparently related but the relationship is unclear.

On Oct. 30, 1870 Mary Kilroy died along with two other children leaving four
children to be raised by Patrick. In July 1874 Patrick took Mary Dwyer as
his second wife. Nothing is known about her except that she was a widow and
county records indicate a civil marriage with Patrick. Mary was apparently
born in Virginia on July 1,1856.

James Hyland was born in Kilmaine County Mayo on May 4, 1822 and emigrated
to the US some time before 1850 when he was located in Saratoga NY. James
farmed with his brother Thomas in NY and purchased the farm when Thomas moved
to Minnesota. Julia was born May 1 1829 in County Tipperary, Ireland. There
is no information on the date or location of his marriage to Julia but most
of his children were born in New York. He and his family moved to a farm
in Lakeville about 1975 where their last known child was born.

When Julia died Feb 16, 1898, James died Oct. 23, 1906. They are both at
St. Josephs in Rosemount MN. Their last child appears on the census records
up until 1895 but there is no record of death or burial. He in not listed
as one of Julia's survivors. James was institutionalized some time prior
to 1879 at Hastings where he died in 1906. Ellen Devitt (Mrs. T. E.) was
listed as an aunt to Miss Bernice Clancy of St. Paul. It is not clear how
they are related. This Ellen is also said to have had an Aunt living in
Mechanicsville NY in 1911.

[NOTE: The two youngest children, William and Mary, may also
be the William and Mary listed in the family of their elder brother,
Edward F. Hyland. Also, some family researchers
list a daughter, Julia, presumed to have died before the family arrived in
Minnesota, as a child of James and Julia.]

Thomas Hyland was born Nov. 13, 1827 in Killmaine County Mayo and emigrated
to the US in 1848. He initially worked as laborer digging canals. About 1850
he purchased a farm Saratoga Springs NY. where he was married at St. Peter's
church in Nov. 13, 1854. Mary was born in the parish of Ashford, County Mayo.
Some records list her mother's maiden name as Cummings. Her name may have
actually been Mahaney. She came to the U.S. about 1853. In 1870 there was
a Julia Mahoney residing with this family and she may have been related in
some way. In 1855 after the birth of their first child, Thomas sold his farm
to James Hyland and moved west to Lakeville MN where he settled a farm in
sections 1 & 2.of that township.

Edward was born in May 1835 in Killmaine County Mayo and came to the U.S.
with his family. After a short time in New York he and his parents settled
on a farm in Empire Twp. MN. He and Bridget were married here in 1861 and
set up housekeeping on a farm in Empire Twp. Some time in the late
1860s the family moved to another farm in Rosemount Twp. and eventually retired
in the village of Rosemount.

Most of these children moved out of the area. Both John & Daniel moved
to northern Minnesota with John last known to be in Canada. At the turn of
the century Daniel was apparently working as a customs officer in Baudette
MN. At some point Daniel was committed to an asylum for the mentally ill
and is said to have escaped sometime in 1922. There is no record of him after
that date however his estate was apparently probated in 1940. Ann's nickname
was Annie Rose; she and her husband moved to Minot, ND. Some time after Edward's
death on Sept 14, 1905 Bridget moved into the city of St. Paul where in 1910
she was residing at 293 Nelson Ave. She died there on Aug 13, 1925.

obits for Edward Hyland and Bridget Mangan].

James was born and raised in Lakeville. He was married to Mary in 1908 and
it is believed that they set up housekeeping in the village of Rosemount.
No information is available on their children. Mary Rice had three brothers:
Thomas in Coates, John in St. Paul and Mike in Hastings.

Edward was born in Saratoga N.Y. and moved to Lakeville in the late 1860s
with his parents. It is not known when he was married but it is suspected
that his wife Ann was from Scott County Edward and his wife moved to the
town of Farmington where some of his children were born. No information is
available on Edward's wife Ann.

Michael was born in Saratoga N.Y. and moved to Lakeville MN. with his parents
in the late 1860s. He married Catherine in 1886 and lived in the town of
Rosemount until about 1890. Catherine was born and raised in Belle Plain
M.N. and after 1890 she and her children were living in Belle Plain without
Michael. In later years Catherine moved into the city of St .Paul and is
Cemetery. Michael moved out west and was located in Kalaspell Montana in
1898. No more information is available on him until his death notice in
1932.

John was born in Saratoga N.Y. and moved to Lakeville Twp. M.N. with his
parents. In 1883 he was married to Christine Gollen at St. Josephs church.
She was born in the village of Rosemount and was the daughter of a prominent
merchant. John Hyland was elected Dakota County Sheriff and he and his wife
moved to the city of Hastings where their children were born.

Patrick was born in Saratoga N.Y. and was raised on a farm in Lakeville M.N.
In 1884 he married the daughter of a Rosemount business man. Ann was born
in Rosemount and lived for a time in western Minnesota before returning to
Rosemount with her family. Following their marriage Patrick and Ann took
up residence in the village of Rosemount where all their children were
born.

Owen was born and raised on the the family farm in Lakeville. In 1888 he
married his wife Margaret. She had been born and raised on a farm in Eagan
Twp. Her brother David was to marry one of Owen's sisters a year later. The
family first took up residence in the village of Rosemount where his children
were born. Owen took over the operation of the family farm after the death
of his father. He remained there until his death.

Edward was born in Empire Twp. and raised on a farm in Rosemount. Later after
spending some time working in Montana he settled in St. Paul where he was
married in 1900. His wifes maiden name may be Bogat instead of McLaughlin
as listed. Nothing else is known about him until his death.

Children

Edward (1909- )

This is the only known child of Edward & Mary. Edward appears to have
been residing at 315 E Robie in 1910. An obituary for an Edward Hyland who
died in 1931 states that he is survived by two daughters Mrs. Mary Gorman
& Mrs W.W Garvey. This may be the same Edward. There is a burial record
in Rosemount for a Mrs. Mary Hyland who died Jan. 17, 1930. She was apparently
residing at 538 Carroll at the time of her death. It is not clear whether
or not this is Edward's wife. She was 61 years old.
